Chapter 6

~11 min read 2,046 words

Lying on the bed in the dormitory, Li Banfeng looked at the ceiling silently.

The dormitory bed was very high, the ceiling was very close to him, and the mold spots on the ceiling were like eyes, watching him.

There were indeed eyes watching him, watching his every move.

Click-clack!

The phone received a message again.

Who is sending me messages?

This person picked up He Yuxiu's phone.

He knew I met the third uncle.

He knew I met the police.

He also knew He Yuxiu was lying in the hospital bed.

Who is this person?

A teacher at the university?

A doctor in the hospital?

Old Chen who claimed to be a police officer?

The gatekeeper downstairs?

The phone clicked and clacked endlessly. Li Banfeng picked up the phone and took a look; He Yuxiu's number sent more than a dozen messages in a row.

"Banfeng, in four years of university, you are the only brother I have!"

"There is only one glass of liquor left; you take a sip, I take a sip."

"There is only one cigarette left; you smoke half, I smoke half!"

"The first time I went out to eat with my wife,

you accompanied me,

the first time I went to sleep with my wife,

I slept halfway, you called, and I accompanied you to the internet cafe for a whole night."

"You got a mental illness, I accompanied you to see a doctor; you spent all your money, I gave you money; I also spent all my money, I went to the construction site to move stones, and stayed until you were discharged."

"Last year's exam, in order to pass the answers to you, I failed the course and was almost put on probation. In four years of university, I only recognize you as a brother! Just this one!"

More than a dozen messages proved one thing.

The other party is really He Yuxiu.

Because some things, only the two of them know.

The last message:

"Brother, save me, only you can save me."

Li Banfeng took a deep breath and called back; he wanted to confirm He Yuxiu's voice.

The call couldn't get through. Li Banfeng sent a message: "How did you come back from the station, why did you run to my bed?"

"That wasn't me."

"It wasn't you, then who was it? Where are you now? Why can you see me?"

Li Banfeng had many questions to ask He Yuxiu, but currently, he could only think of so many.

Click-clack!

He Yuxiu replied:

"I really want to answer you, but there is no time. The train is about to leave. If you don't come to save me today, I don't know when the next train will be. You might never see me again."

The train is about to leave.

Go save you today...

Li Banfeng turned over and got out of bed, looking at the window silently.

In university, you only have me as a friend?

From birth to now, how many friends do you have?

Seems like just this one.

Dormitory 6 was cold and clear downstairs, and even the clothesline was empty.

But under that big willow tree downstairs, someone had been standing there all along.

That was a young man with a thin physique, about the same age as Li Banfeng.

His eyes were very big, shining like light bulbs; Li Banfeng could see them very clearly from the third floor.

He seemed to be waiting for someone.

Except for Li Banfeng, only the gatekeeper was left in this dormitory building.

Temporarily excluding the gatekeeper, this person must be coming for Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng sent a message to He Yuxiu: "I'm being watched."

He Yuxiu replied: "Must be someone from the Dark Star Bureau."

"What is the Dark Star Bureau?"

"I really can't explain it to you now. The Dark Star Bureau cannot be mentioned casually; they can perceive it. Brother, you have to save me; if you don't save me, it will be too late."

Li Banfeng sat in the chair and fell into deep thought.

He sat for more than ten minutes without moving.

During this period, the gatekeeper came up once, looked at Li Banfeng and said: "Why haven't you left yet?"

Li Banfeng didn't pay attention to him; Li Banfeng didn't even see him.

He was quickly recalling the past four years of experiences with He Yuxiu in his mind.

Yes, he is the only brother I have.

After a long silence, Li Banfeng typed a line on his phone:

"Brother, in four years of university, I only recognize you as a brother. There is one glass of liquor left, we take a sip each; there is one cigarette left, we smoke half each,

If you have no money for treatment, I will go to the construction site to move stones immediately, without any hesitation,

But this matter, I don't want to get involved anymore."

Li Banfeng put down his phone, feeling very conflicted.

The reason he didn't want to get involved anymore was that this matter exceeded his cognition.

According to Li Banfeng's cognition, the time and space of He Yuxiu's appearance were wrong, whether it was the He Yuxiu in the hospital bed or the He Yuxiu in the phone.

According to Li Banfeng's cognition, He Yuxiu hadn't shown any superpowers in the past four years, otherwise he wouldn't have been caught cheating.

Li Banfeng felt that his acceptance ability was strong enough; this kind of thing could force a normal person into becoming a mental patient.

Not to mention that I am a mental patient myself.

Click-clack!

The phone received He Yuxiu's message after a long silence.

"Okay." The message only had one word.

Li Banfeng lay back on the dormitory bed, staring at the ceiling, continuing to be in a daze.

I haven't had a good sleep for three days; it will pass after a sleep.

Jiaqing, I have done everything I could for you.

Click-clack!

Received another message from Jiaqing.

"Take care of yourself."

Take care of yourself.

This sentence is so familiar.

This was the last sentence Li Banfeng said to He Yuxiu.

The last sentence they said face to face.

Take care...

Let him take care, but he is not doing well now.

Not doing well is not doing well; the logic is that simple.

Li Banfeng sat up and sent a message: "How can I save you?"

"Banfeng, good brother, I beg you, help me get something and bring it to my home."

Although he couldn't see He Yuxiu's face, judging from the content of the message, He Yuxiu was very excited.

"What thing?" Li Banfeng looked at He Yuxiu's locker. In Li Banfeng's impression, this locker had long been emptied.

He Yuxiu replied: "The thing is not in the dormitory, it's in the campus supermarket."

Li Banfeng went to the window and looked downstairs.

He first looked at the man who was still squatting under the tree, and then looked at the campus supermarket not far away.

Li Banfeng: "You said to send the thing to your home; it shouldn't be your hometown, right?"

He Yuxiu: "It's my hometown. My hometown is not far. I'll buy you a ticket; the train leaves this afternoon! Go to the East Station immediately! I beg you!"

Li Banfeng took a deep breath and jumped off the bed.

He washed his face seriously, letting the cold water temporarily suppress the fatigue of the past few days.

He put on a short-sleeved T-shirt, a pair of loose sweatpants, and a pair of sneakers.

Since he was going on a long trip, he still had to prepare his luggage.

He first took his wallet, packed his documents, and brought the two thousand in cash given by the "third uncle",

He also took a backpack from the wardrobe. This backpack was bought by He Yuxiu at a street stall, thirty for one, fifty for two. He Yuxiu bought two and gave one to him.

Packed a set of clothes to change, and set off immediately.

Before leaving, Li Banfeng swept a glance out the window again; the big-eyed man was still there.

Li Banfeng sent a message: "That person watching me, since he is not a police officer, he should be able to accept appropriate physical contact, right?"

Click-clack!

"Don't be impulsive."

"Don't worry, I know the limits; it must be within the scope of legitimate defense."

"It's not a matter of limits; he is a dark energy user, you can't beat him, you have to find a way to get rid of him."

"What is a dark energy user?"

"I can't explain it to you now."

"When I arrive at your home, you must explain everything clearly."

Li Banfeng went out.

When he just left the dormitory door, the big-eyed man didn't move.

After walking for dozens of meters, the big-eyed man followed silently.

Li Banfeng walked into the campus supermarket as if he were walking in to buy a pack of spicy strips as usual.

The thin big-eyed man was named Dong Xiaoning, code-named Light Bulb.

He just joined the Dark Star Bureau last month, and many things he did were not professional enough.

For example, he was very unprofessional in tracking, and he also knew he wasn't professional enough.

He was struggling at the entrance of the supermarket right now, wondering whether to go in.

The campus supermarket was not big; if he went in, it would be easy to be discovered by Li Banfeng.

If he didn't go in, he was worried about losing him.

Click-clack! He Yuxiu sent a message.

"The thing is in the locker of the supermarket."

Li Banfeng came to the locker. The campus supermarket only had facial recognition lockers, which could only be stored and retrieved by facial scanning, with no other way.

"How do I open the locker? Use your photo?" Li Banfeng replied.

"No need, just take it."

Just take it?

Li Banfeng pressed the retrieval key, and the locker screen began to record Li Banfeng's avatar.

What's the use of this? It's not something I stored...

Click!

Locker door number 6 opened.

What's the situation?

Scanning my face, and I actually took out He Yuxiu's things?

What's the principle of this?

Li Banfeng was stunned for a long time, unable to understand the reason.

There was a package in the locker, wrapped tightly with tape.

This package was not big, but it was very heavy. Li Banfeng quickly put the package into his backpack and was about to walk out of the supermarket when he saw the Light Bulb waiting at the entrance of the supermarket, seemingly talking on the phone.

"The person watching me is talking on the phone; can you hear what he is saying?"

If the other party is looking for a helper, Li Banfeng must find a way to deal with it.

He Yuxiu replied: "I can hear a little, vaguely. I can't do it alone; our brothers have to cooperate. Can you get closer to him?"

Li Banfeng pushed a shopping cart and wandered at the entrance of the supermarket casually.

The Light Bulb's voice was getting louder and louder, and Li Banfeng could hear it more and more clearly.

He Yuxiu seemed to have temporarily lent part of his superpowers to Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng could not only hear the big-eyed man's voice clearly, but even the voice at the other end of the phone could be heard clearly.

"Captain Xiao, Li Banfeng took something from the supermarket locker. I'm not sure what the origin of that thing is now."

At the other end of the phone, Xiao Zhenggong asked: "Have you reported this matter to Captain Chen?"

"I called Captain Chen, but couldn't get through."

The other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and Xiao Zhenggong's order came: "Shoot this person, and bring the thing he got back to the bureau."

Upon hearing this, the big-eyed man trembled all over.

Trembling with him was Li Banfeng, who was beside the shelf.

To be precise, Li Banfeng trembled more severely.

Shoot?

Are you kidding me?

What did I do to deserve being shot?
